tv   MSNBC - Democratic National Convention  MSNBC  July 25, 2016 11:00pm-12:01am PDT

11:00 pm
sure you may be watching from los angeles where it's 9:00 p.m., you're just settling down perhaps with snacks or a beverage. out east, it's really the shank of the evening to celebrate -- we just celebrated midnight here as you may be able to hear. and here is the thing about the wells fargo arena. unlike other venues, they have told us all we broadcasters and cable casters, these lights are
11:01 pm
finite, these lights are just going to get cut at some point in the evening. and knowing that and knowing that all floor reporters should wear flats, male and female. we should put all of them together, jacob, a guy from minnesota, so howey jackson, start us off. >> hey, it's the road warriors coming to you here from the floor, hello, senator, thank you for joining us. >> we're talking about minnesota corned beef. >> his mom -- from a jewish suburb -- >> talking about the convention. >> we talked about sarah silverman, what did you make of that moment? she had that bernie or bust comment. >> well, you know, the latest polls show 90% of bernie -- this
11:02 pm
was a little earlier in the night before michelle -- [ inaudible ] >> you're funny all the time, senator -- >> the campaign asked me to kind of -- you got to eat the mike here? okay, they asked me to be -- to heap scorn and ridicule on trump, and i said i'll do anything for hillary, even be funny. >> and with sarah silverman, back on stage, was it familiar
11:03 pm
aga again? >> it was hard, we worked it out very quickly, and at one point when i was going to let her do her speech, she said get out of my frame, and i said okay, i won't get out of your frame -- >> there was that bernie or bust comment, and i think we were here, looking at the unity comment -- >> as i said, 90% of bernie's supporters are going to vote for hillary. there are people who work very passionately, if you cut to them on the floor they're very passionate about his speech. and i think by the time we leave here we'll be a very, very united party. >> can i ask you about that, senator, the california delegation, i was talking with
11:04 pm
the young woman, and going for the green party, we're talking about the 10% and they're going to deliver the election to donald trump. is that something you worry about? >> what state was she from? >> she was from california. >> okay, i'm not worried about her. >> what about places like ohio, where things are tied up explosi? >> well, again, i think if you have 90% now, bernie made the case tonight. he made the case that hillary clinton has been fighting for the same stuff that he has been fighting for all her life. and he made the case about the supreme court. and he made the case about just the -- the values of bringing people together instead of dividing people, which is what trump did all last week. and he is -- he said that he is going to do everything he can to make sure that hillary is elected. and he is a very powerful guy.
11:05 pm
and doing that he will -- >> i just want to ask you about minnesota, because your caucus for months and months has been so heavily bernie sanders. how much pushback are you getting? they love you there. so -- >> well, thank you. you always were one of the great political -- >> it was a recap. hillary clinton is not at all popular with the majority -- >> no, that is not true. and it was pretty interesting, welcome when i went to the eighth district, that is where duluth is, to the eighth district convention, i had a bernie sanders woman come up to me and she goes i owe you an apology, i sent you a mean tweet. so this is very minnesota. i went like, you don't have to apologize, she said no, no, i sent you a mean tweet.
11:06 pm
so -- and then i got no pushback there. and then i went to the minnesota convention. and again, nothing. now, minnesota -- there is such a thing called minnesota nice. >> can i ask you to be a little minnesota not nice and grade bernie sanders on his snl appearances, please? one to ten? >> i did not see bernie sanders snl -- i saw larry david as bernie -- >> what did you think of his performance? >> well, i told larry, you had to do nothing. when tina fey did sarah palin she had to get that more midwestern accent, she had to do stuff. i said larry, you had to do nothing, just be a cranky jew,
11:07 pm
which he is, and he is from brooklyn -- >> did you make it to the podium tonight -- >> well, i had five minutes and did a well crafted piece. i'm asking you, what did you think? thank you. do you think you got a lot of laughs? >> got a lot of laughs. how do you feel about playing val the bartender? >> i thought she was great. >> do you know donald trump? have you met donald trump? >> i mean, i have been in the same room with him. i probably would avoid talking to him. i really would. i mean, i wouldn't go up to him. i just wouldn't. i have some bad feelings about him. i thought what he -- i think what he has been doing this whole campaign has been
11:08 pm
reprehensible. and the way he has been dividing people by religion. and you know, you know let's remember that he was a birther. like he was like the birther for a while. all that stuff is disgusting. >> i wonder what he would say if he came up to you, i mean, would he be somebody that would put himself out and not even tweeting, saying statements. one of the things he said about bernie sanders for months, is that tonight, he says that sanders has abandoned his revolution. and i just wonder in your view if that will appeal to some supporters. you think man, i don't know what to do. >> i haven't heard one bernie supporter saying they're going to vote for trump. >> i have to say, in her defense, it was something i had seen a lot on the campaign trail. but here tonight i have not seen one bernie supporter.
11:09 pm
in fact, it's the reverse. it's people saying things like i want you to see this newspaper story that shows that hillary clinton can't be donald trump, and bernie sanders can, and the most important thing is beating donald trump. but there were many people, point conceded that california is likely to remain blue. but there was a lot of anger, people feel betrayed by elizabeth warren, championing goldman sachs when she is on stage. >> and the delegates, they're not going to go into the trump lane, there is speculation. but do you think there is something more that hillary clinton needs to do to attract these disaffected bernie sanders supporters over the next few days? >> i think she has to make the case as a world that has a president trump and a world that has a president clinton, and those are starkly different. now, as a senator, i have seen
11:10 pm
the presidency somewhat closer up than i did when i was a comedian. and -- you know, like the trust issue. elizabeth said something today, she put a litany of what you need from the president. she said well informed. and you know, the president has to make decisions, and you have seen this. has to make decisions that you didn't count on making a decision yesterday about. and that means you have to be steeped in everything. and that means you have to work every day of your life to stay on top of everything. and donald trump is incapable of that. he has no interest in anything, i think other than himself. >> michelle obama's speech was for many people here on the floor, the highlight. into it was a beautiful speech.
11:11 pm
she is an elegant, beautiful, woman. >> don't know if you will hear that from the republican side. i thought during the campaign -- i think it was really important by the birther movement, she talked about her children. >> i mean -- that was powerful. i mean she spoke very powerfully about the birther stuff. and that was sort of trump's introduction to the republican party, wasn't it? i mean, that was like -- i mean, that was his entree in. saying you were born in the united states. and he said a lot of stuff.
11:12 pm
he didn't send anybody there and they found nothing. he is a liar, all the time. you know, he saw thousands of muslims cheering when the world trade center -- that didn't happen. >> what still matters -- >> i think they still matter. at the end of the day they will still matter. you know what, i would challenge you, all of you, to make them matter. so repeat them when there are lies. i would say that the -- the media -- i think you know, i used to write quaint books, and i do think people think oh, wow, there used to be books about when people lied. but now no one cares. you guys have kind of a job to
11:13 pm
do. >> senator, before we go, just because this is a rewarder show, give us your best road trip story. the places you have been and traveled to. >> i actually just three weeks ago had one of the greatest experiences of my life. at a high school graduation in wilmer, minnesota, it's sort of the largest turkey producer in the country. and wilmer is kind of the center of that. the graduating class is about 60% white, 25% latino, i would say, 15% somalia, i was there to introduce the class speaker who had been chosen by the class, a somali girl. muna abdulahi. and it was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.
11:14 pm
the valedictorian was a latino girl. muna had been chosen as the speaker. i introduced her, she had been a page. it was such a tonic to all of this stuff we have been hearing. it's this town, wilmer, minnesota, 250 kids graduation, 80% going to post-secondary education. you know what, we -- it made me realize that we who serve in public office have to be worthy of the people that we serve. and i think hillary clinton understands that. >> thank you for joining our road warrior's town hall. you never know what is going to happen here. brian? >> you never know, thank you, we should note for our sharp-eared
11:15 pm
audience that about 3/4 of that, no fault of anyone sundhere, sod like it was delivered down a tube of bounty. senator franken, we asked him to put the mike up as you may have heard. having said all that, the stalwart tonight has been hugh hewitt, a, you're in new york, b, you're in a studio, and c, hearing democratic politics. so hugh, for the 120 or so stations that carry your broadcast tomorrow what will your take be, and as honestly as you can put it what kind of night do you think the democrats will have? >> well, there were two nights,
11:16 pm
the first night ended right before corey booker came on. a giant vat of acid fell on the democrats tonight. and chuck schumer recognized that. said he was worried. i'll come back to that for a moment. i think it has done damage on the trust issue. but the good speech by corey booker, followed by one of those extremely rare shining speeches. the first lady's speech reminded me of 12 years ago when her then senator husband took the stage in boston at the fleet center and put one down in the books for the ages. and i think she sort of did that tonight, and managed to rodrigures resurrect the party. the democrats lost their first day to the wikileaks.
11:17 pm
michelle obama gave it back to them. the first lady's sparkling speech revived them. i didn't think that elizabeth warren did much for them. in fact, the one thing i was missing tonight is that they made no appeal to the trump voters tonight in the way that trump made appeal to the bernie voters there was nothing in the reach across the aisle. you know, i'm a sucker for this. i can be interested in it on an endless loop. in was surprised they made no overt play for the center. >> do you think this starts to take a turn in tone and that may be necessary? >> it has to. i think they really have to work on the wikileaks problem. because the central problem with secretary clinton's candidacy is that nobody trusts her. i think it's a 60% rating. but the wikileaks story,
11:18 pm
reinforces the over-reaching narrative in which people like steve schmidt has to build around the opposition, which is you can't trust her, you can't trust her, and then dump out all the really despicable e-mails that trade in religious bigotry and homophobihomophobia, that y think would be a parody of a republican e-mail. that was rigged, a word game, if it is a rigged game then everybody is drunk, in whatever stadium that is. it was a very bad day for the clinton campaign at large. i think you have to work on trust, trust, trust, somebody said you can't fix that. maybe chris matthew said that, you have to try. >> hugh hewitt, who has been so patient with us in our fourth studio, hugh hewitt, thank you
11:19 pm
very much. when we come back, to independence hall, chris matthews and his guests when our coverage continues.
11:20 pm
11:21 pm
11:22 pm
well, that is where it all began, independence hall right behind me. i'm chris matthews here with a special edition of late night "hardball." here in philadelphia. anyway, tonight, they offered a primetime highlight by michelle obama and concluded by a strong bernie sanders endorsement for hillary clinton. tonight, perhaps they overcame a contentious afternoon, sanders asking his supporters not to engage in any kind of protests on the floor tonight. but he too was booed by his own
11:23 pm
supporters when he asked them to back clinton. >> and i ask that you back hillary clinton in her campaign. [ crowd boos ] >> it was a rough afternoon, the heated drama shows that revolutions don't have new buttons, even sanders couldn't quite be angry at his supporters, but when he spoke tonight, senator sanders called for a united front to take on donald trump and did so forcefully. >> we need leadership between our people. we bring our people together to make us stronger.
11:24 pm
not leadership can insults latinos and mexicans. insults muslims and women, african-americans and veterans and sikhs to divide us. by these measures, any objective observer based on her ideals and leadership, hillary clinton must become the next president of the united states. >> we have all the highlights for you tonight. that was bernie sanders, of course concluding the evening and the crowd pleaser tonight, by elizabeth warren, another great speaker was again, michelle obama who gave an emotional endorsement of hillary clinton. >> i wake up every morning in a house that was built by slaves.
11:25 pm
and i watched my daughters, two beautiful, intelligent black young women, playing with their dogs on the white house lawn. and because of hillary clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the united states. >> only one word for the first lady tonight. wow. also coming tonight, a look at my hometown of philadelphia. a look at one of the many things that makes this city unique. the philly cheesesteak, not to be confused with a steak and
11:26 pm
cheese sandwich. stick around, i'm going to show you later what i think is the line of the night from the convention. but joining me now, the best for the business, joy reid, chris hayes, the host of "all for." and michael steele, the former chair of the republican national committee, and howard fineman, global. and an msnbc political analyst. howard, i just want you to talk about it, because we were there. the five of us were there for hours. i loved it. i love tonight. i thought tonight had stuff -- and what i saw -- i'll just start with my thought. when i'm watching the first lady, a beautiful woman, we're allowed to say that. a beautiful woman, charming as hell, elevated by education, charm and everything else. stood up there. i was looking, because i do watch people. and i was watching, because some
11:27 pm
youngish african-american women and i watched these well turned out women behind me. and they're crying. they're so proud of what she is. so proud of how she raised her kids. and i said this about some real right wing conservative white men in this country, she never does a thing wrong, not a thought of corruption, or bad behavior. the kids don't do anything wrong, they're perfect. and all of these right wing people keep hating them. and i keep thinking, what do they want? >> when i first arrived in the hall you really got the sense of seeing the bernie people circulating around, there was a kind of reluctance and regret and in some cases, the defiance. >> what time -- >> 4 or 5:00. >> and that would have been the end of this day. of tumult. you saw a tremendous number of
11:28 pm
bernie people, he got 45% of the delegates, they're all kind of trudging around. so when michelle obama spoke, two things happened. first of all se made everybody proud in the way of what you said that obama had accomplished. and dug down to emotional depth, transferring the history she had had made on race to what she was proposing the history would be on behalf of her own daughters. that -- hillary clinton could make. i thought it was one of the best -- i've been in the hall for some great speeches, chris, going all the way back to ted kennedy in 1980. that is one of the top three for its emotional depth and political utility. >> and i think tonight -- >> what did you see in the hall? >> well, with we first got there, i agree with howard. it was interesting despite what we saw through the two or three people in the camera, i thought people were decked out in bernie gear, but who really wanted
11:29 pm
conciliation, who were sad but said i really want to conciliate. when we moved across the hall, the other side where the energy was coming from where the holdouts, at one point -- they even tried to start a -- during michelle obama, i can tell you now if anybody had even tried, not even a boo, but even the first letter there would have been problems. i'll tell you one thing that struck me, the feel of the hall. to walk in there. michelle obama said she wakes up in a house that was built by slaves. this was an ode in a way to black women. this speech was presided over by marsha buds, the first prayer was given by an african-american minister. you had black women i realliy y shown to be the power in the democratic party. and for michelle obama to
11:30 pm
culminate that exquisite speech, she was splendid. >> i just keep thinking, why do we have to wait seven and a half yea years? >> i think that point of michelle obama was so key. we talked about the working class, black women, they're only 6% of the population, but they are the demographic cornerstone of progressive politics in this countrime country. because they vote at huge levels and organize and volunteer, and the other thing that struck me in the room tonight, the sheer energy compared to cleveland. there are two things in cleveland, they have twice as many delegates, remember, you bet on never trump. there was not a person who embodied that. people just stayed away.
11:31 pm
if they didn't want to have anything to do with trump. >> i thought tonight for the democrats, it was a better night -- first night was a better night than last night. i thought there was no crankiness. >> but it was not all that -- >> where were you -- >> i was on the floor and up in a number of the levels all the way up to the roof. to the balcony level. literally on the roof. but here is the thing. so when i first get there. you know, you asked about what was it like? people looked at me like what are you doing here? why is the republican former chairman here? but what was interesting was the willingness to come up and talk. and i ran into a lot of the california delegation, who i agree with everybody at this table saying, those folks are still going home with a little salt for their wounds. some of them are also -- i know this is going to knock some
11:32 pm
folks out, but trump. >> i saw one today. at the marriott hotel, a guy goes out running into the robberlobby, going bernie or trump? i said can we walk and talk explosi? i have a number you need to call. michelle obama, finest first lady, i put her and barbara bush and laura bush in that corner of the first lady club where it's just special. what she did tonight, was special. that line struck me as a black man, struck me, waking up in a house built by slaves just brought up a flood of emotions. then the politics we cannot lose sight of, is you have this rift starting with debbie
11:33 pm
wasserman-schultz. all of this has to get worked out. >> but we're watching it getting meted out realtime. >> i want to shout out one more african-american woman, which was donna brazil, you saw the strength on display. think about what happened. i spoke to a friend who made a brilliant point. this was the night he took the steam out of the kettle. and donna brazil energied it. having that energy come out. they had all the bernie speakers and the folks. >> the republican side, they fixed the rules so it could for the get released. >> all of them -- a lot of pro bernie -- >> another thing bernie did was allow himself to be subjected to the loud booing in the earlier event at the philadelphia convention center, as though it
11:34 pm
was kind -- >> we talked about, it takes something in a politician to walk in a room where you know you're going to get booed and look those boo news the face. i said it to ted cruz, you have to tip your cap to someone would does that. you tip your cap to someone who knows they have to do that. >> he did that as a service to hillary clinton ultimately. because it gave him more credibility coming out tonight. >> it was a big move for bernie sanders if he could step up to the moment, he did. >> by the way, i heard jill stein, more, and the libertarian. >> let me ask you about slaves and ancestors, going back 100 years, right over here, the mall, which was the president's house when washington was president before there was a white house or washington, d.c. guess what he had all around him? slaves, they were all living there too. and when the southerners came up
11:35 pm
here to vote on the declaration, guess what they brought with them? their slaves. >> what michelle did tonight was transfer all that history and emotional energy on to the cause of women as well. that is what was so deft about it politically. in >> and if anybody missed the first lady's speech, if you missed it you got to watch it. here is michelle obama talking about her daughters. >> because at that moment i realized that our time in the white house would form the foundation for who they would become. and how well we apologized this experience to truly make or break them. that is what barak and i think about every day as we try to guide and protect our girls through the challenges of this unusual life in the spotlight. how we urge them to ignore those
11:36 pm
who question their father's citizenship or faith. how we insist that the hateful language they hear from public figures on tv does not represent the true spirit of this country. how we explain that when someone is cruel or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level. no, our motto is when they go low, we go high. >> the other person that spoke tonight, there are so many winners tonight, i thought sarah silverman, i've always liked her. she is just very likeable, a wise guy but very likeable. and when she said -- ridiculous, like only a woman can say that to a man. let's watch her do that. it's such a great line.
11:37 pm
>> the bernie -- can i just say -- to the bernie or bust people, you're being ridiculous. >> well, she is stunning, she has this wonderful manner, she turns her head a certain way -- >> she -- >> she did the thing where she came out -- she has been a sanders supporter. >> the ultimate sanders -- >> it was funny, too, the whole stick. >> and then corey booker comes up there, they know he is ivy league, jersey, with a super future ahead of him. he comes out, when they tell you you're nothing -- they write you
11:38 pm
down into significance, you think for ethnic or culture, whatever, you have to rise up. just powerful stuff, that was before the more ideological address, which was tougher, just like on trump's level, she said you want to do this, we'll do this. >> she is great on twitter, but i think -- she is a troll, she trol trolls him mercilessly. >> numericly, the republicans were more united on paper, here you have a situation where bernie sanders could have raised a ruckus if he wanted to.
11:39 pm
instead, i thought what happened tonight was as flawless an effort as unity. >> you know why it worked? because florida went ahead and had the really ugly moments out of the camera sight. >> and did not do it -- >> because i tell you, i ran into debbie wasserman-schultz last night at dinnertime. she was saying she was doing it. by 11:50, she was dissuaded by the staff and clinton people. >> and he was still defending debbie wasserman-schultz at 8:00 a.m. by 11:00, it was over. >> it was not nevada. >> it was not nevada. >> they were lucky. if that -- that would have been a disaster. >> we can back much more on the incredible speech. plus, did bernie sanders make his case? i think he made his case to the reachables. i think there are some people who are not reachables.
11:40 pm
even in bernie's campaign. anyway, we'll be right back, and live from independence hall there it is. home of the liberty bell. home of our country right behind us. what a building. and it was that place where it started. >> don't let anyone ever tell you that this country is not great. that somehow we need to make it great again. because this right now is the greatest country on earth. p?p?
11:41 pm
11:42 pm
11:43 pm
someone who knows this job and takes it seriously. someone who understands that the issues the president faces are not black and white and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters. but because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingerprints and the military in your command you can't make snap decisions. you can't have a thin skin or a tendency to lash out. you need to be steady and measured and well informed. >> you know what, that may be a winning strategy. >> welcome back to this late night edition of "hardball." i think day one of the
11:44 pm
convention here in philadelphia live from independence hall behind me, first lady michelle obama was the star of the night i think we would all agree. take a look at the cover, of course the daily news is a liberal paper. you're not going to get that cover on the post. the headline is the lady is her champ. the old sinatra reference, and anyway, bernie sanders making a strong case for party unity. maybe the most important speech between him and michelle obama. let's listen, senator sanders. >> i'm happy to tell you that at the democratic platform committee there was a significant coming together between the two campaigns and we produced by far the most progressive platform for the history of the democratic party. our job now is to see that strong democratic platform implemented by a democratic
11:45 pm
controlled senate. by a democratic house and a hillary clinton presidency. and i am going to do all that i can to make that happen. >> i'm back the our -- with our panel, joy reid, michael steele to the right. chris hayes -- he is global. michael steele, if you were watching the from the inner sanctum, if there is such a place and you were up there in the tower and they're all watching this on scientiftv, we little afraid or confident? >> i think probably at the end
11:46 pm
of the day they were probably a little more confident. >> more confident? >> yeah, a little more confident. and the reason being, this message, while everybody in the room loved it. how does it resonate across the country? and the thinking right now in the trump team is the country is standing and moving closer to where they are in their argumentation, the country is li look look, i don't have time to worry about my neighbor, i have to take care of me. and that is where the country is, moving a little closer to trump on that. >> you be careful if you say look at the country, because you look at the polls, there are two, i'm convinced more than ever, we're essentially two americas, completely opposite
11:47 pm
experiences. if you look at the bump that donald trump got out of his convention, he got none of it from white college educated voters. but he got a massive amount among the non-college white voters, it's not the entire country. >> because you have latinos and african-american people. >> having interviewed a ton of those people i agreed with michael, especially when we were talking about it before the segment. but the operating assumption of this convention is that everybody thinks it's a great idea to bring us together. okay? >> strong together. >> yeah, everyone together. the message and theory of the trump campaign is no, we don't want to be with anybody else. we don't want to be with anybody else. >> and if you were to send a
11:48 pm
memo -- >> one part that is interesting if you want to watch racial ethnic politics in this country, you can do it but you have to give cover. they made an effort, you were there with me last year and watched that incredible performance on stage. there was lots of diversity on stage, because they don't want to admit to themselves they have a problem. suburban women will not vote racially, they may move racially. they don't want to think of themselves -- >> that's right. >> they raise their kids not to use bad ethnic names, you're told to say the right thing. >> it's not just race, it's this idea no, we don't all want to be together. we want to make certain distinctions. yeah, there is a big racial component to it. you talk to the ring call ers ad
11:49 pm
counties around cleveland, you have to say no, we don't want to be a part of that to bring us together. >> how do they say it? >> they say we have been forgotten, they say we're getting screwed. they say they're taking all the tax money, that the government is rigged against them. that the system is rigged against them. we don't want to bring us together. it's bringing us altogether that suffocated us. >> and by the way, the speech by the young woman, she herself was undocumented. you saw people tweeting, saying having their who is an illegal immigrant in their presence, is a slap in the face to working women -- >> well, there is a flip side. those first nights with the republican were all about base building. you were getting the right wing comments. this illegal killed polimy kid
11:50 pm
of thing. tonight they had a very different thing, a woman in a wheelchair who is an immigrant, undocumented workers and their parent s they understand where their bread came from. >> and michelle obama gave a statement i thought was the best statement to rebut donald trump's theory of the world that i have heard. >> and she said this is the greatest country in the world. >> hillary clinton said, i pledge allegiance to the country we're trying to be, i was thinking, are we on probation? in the weirdness and competitiveness in politics, trump's make america great again, got the democrats to say america is great already.
11:51 pm
>> and for me, the democrats seem to be playing catch-up to donald trump on some of these points that resonate across the middle of the country. the swath that the democrats largely owned, the blue collar, in wisconsin and elsewhere, part of their bread and butter. they're moving away very quickly. the rest of the story to your point, joy,no non-educated voters, they're coming out. this is their election. >> but they're also moving because the republican party has given up trying to sell them on austerity, bills, free market and all this stuff they never wanted to begin with. >> and by the way, the guy opening the door -- >> i want to give everybody a take on it for the next few minutes. if minorities were here, there are precincts where nobody voted
11:52 pm
for mitt romney, they're not going to vote for donald trump. and hispanics and rhetoric -- i think minority jewish voters, are more religious or fearful of this guy trump's lingo. his pattern, that should drive it down. women, generally they have a problem with the way he talks about looks. if that is all true, how come he is running even? because he would have to be getting 90% of white males, and he is not getting that. so he is getting a little bit of everything. >> some of those other folks are doing that, too. >> now explain why the polling -- >> bad calculator. >> open your blue books now. >> and -- >> first side of the democratic convention. i think it's a great night. look at that behind me, live from independence hall. that was not put together in the
11:53 pm
studio. that is independence hall. and also we're going to talk about elizabeth warren, who gave a real barn burner, and corey booker, back with more after this. >> i can't believe i have to say this in 2016. in equal pay for equal work and a woman's right to control her own body. hillary will fight for women.
11:54 pm
11:55 pm
